Help needed to find some-one in Canberra
« on: Tuesday 11 August 15 11:50 BST (UK) »
I would be grateful for help with finding a gentleman (hopefully he may still be alive)

My friend's cousin is looking for an old friend he served with in the Navy.....
Removed Curtis - Born in London in 1938.  He emigrated to Australia in 1963

He was in Tasmania early 1970s...last known address Canberra in 1977.  Any info. at all would be appreciated.  There is a possibility he may have become a policeman - but not confirmed.

Thank you

Hi Kathy

We still have a 'no living people' policy here so his name has been removed.

Have you looked at the Australia Resources board to see what might be useful there? things such as phone books.

Also have a look at some of the other posts where other chatters have been trying to find people to see what resources might be suggested.

I've tried some of the resource links - many of which are broken I'm afraid, so it is a little frustrating.  I am hoping that this man IS still alive, but not sure how I find out.  I'll have another play with some of the other posts.

Thank you.

Have you checked the Ryerson Index for his death.

Electoral registers are on Ancestry , but only up to the early 1980s I think.

Yes.....I now have him in Canberra until 1980.

I also have a female at the same address - so I am assuming he married.

Are there marriages index online?

Depends on when a couple married as to whether or not they will be on an index (there are time restrictions) and I imagine your chap's marriage would be too recent. I have no idea about the ACT if they married there, but for other states I generally just google "NSW BMD" or "VICTORIA BMD" etc and the appropriate website is generally in the results.
